The Mummy’s Hand
The Mummy’s Hand (1940) starring Dick Foran, Wallace Ford, Peggy Moran
If there’s one deadly sin committed by The Mummy’s Hand, it’s that it’s too slow–and I’m not talking about the shambling movement of Kharis the living mummy. The titular mummy doesn’t make his first appearance until an hour into the movie, which has spent far too long in setting the scene. For instance, handsome, young archaeologist Steve Banning (Dick Foran) is stuck in Egypt. Without the funds to pursue his archeological dig. And his friend Babe Jensen (Wallace Ford) is along as comic relief.

Black Legion
Black Legion (1936) starring Humphrey Bogart, Dick Foran, Ann Sheridan, directed by Michael Curtiz
Editorial review of Black Legion, courtesy of Amazon.com
Black Legion – One of Humphrey Bogart‘s earliest starring vehicles, this 1936 melodrama typifies the Warner Bros. touch in its modest but potent production values and Depression-era social acumen. Prompted by contemporary news reports of new neofascist groups targeting political and religious minorities, the script conjures up a shadowy, Klan-like organization preying on factory workers to set them against blue-collar immigrants. Bogart is Frank Taylor, a hard-working drill-press operator hoping for a promotion that can help him better provide for his adoring wife and cherubic young son. Frank’s coworkers reassure him he’ll snag the foreman’s post, but when a studious young Polish American gets the nod, Frank’s bitter disappointment sets the stage for the tragedy that follows.

Chicago Confidential
Chicago Confidential (1957) starring Brian Keith, Dick Foran, Beverly Garland, Elisha Cook Jr.
Chicago Confidential is one of those films that wouldn’t be produced today. It’s not that it’s a film noir. The basic plot has an honest Illinois District Attorney. Played well by Brian Keith. He’s investigating a murder seemingly committed by a Union head played by Dick Foran. Foran’s character is innocent. His girlfriend, convincingly played by Beverly Garland, is instrumental in convincing Keith after the conviction.
